Bizarre Realm-Chapter 448 - 53: Creation out of Nothing! World in the Painting

——Petrification Reversal.

As Shawn cast the spell, Quinn Thor, who had turned to stone, gradually came back to life.

Petrification effects are considered a very powerful hard control. When petrified, if you use the Observing Fate Technique, the target is neither dead nor alive. If you are alone outside and accidentally hit by a petrification spell, it basically spells a death sentence.

Petrification spells have many ingenious uses. They are not just control spells but also powerful outputs. For example, the Touch of Flesh and Blood — those monsters with astonishing regeneration ability are difficult to kill, but one Petrification Technique, then smashed to powder, and they are truly dead beyond repair. Generally, this tactic is used on Flesh-side mutants, especially those monsters with regeneration abilities comparable to Giant Demon level; in certain situations, it can also turn flesh into stone.

"Damn evil object!" Quinn Thor gasped and slowly stood up. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When Blade Dancer professionals get hit by a control spell, they’re at the mercy of others. Mages, however, have an Accident Skill for survival, which can automatically trigger a pre-arranged spell in case they are controlled.

——Mage Mansion.

Shawn set up a Guardian Spell nearby, then opened the secret door to his Mage Mansion.

Leaving Candlefort and coming back is troublesome, as there isn’t enough knowledge as an entry ticket. Resting directly inside Candlefort isn’t safe with too many evil objects lurking around.

In a luxuriously decorated Dimensional Mansion.

As soon as Shawn’s group entered, an invisible butler led a team of invisible servants to serve various delicacies and wines. Quinn Thor didn’t hesitate, sitting down at the dining table to eat, with a hint of envy in his gaze toward Shawn: "The Wizard Path is nice; you can return to your mansion at any time."

Shawn smiled and said, "Eat up and have a good rest."

"We’ll continue to explore other areas tomorrow."

He dissolved the Fusion Technique, and the silhouette of the Insectoid Empress gradually separated. Her role was a powerful support, using her Spiritual Energy Pool as Shawn’s Mana Pool to spend. In this battle, Shawn only consumed about a third of his mana; however, seeing others’ conditions, a little rest might be needed.

The Butcher was still eating vegetarian as always, wiping his Slaughter Knife with a piece of black shroud. When Shawn glanced over, he nodded slightly and said, "I’m going to rest a bit."

Having said that, the man, as burly as a giant, casually picked a room.

Shawn’s Mage Mansion has twelve luxurious bedrooms, each with a bell that summons an invisible servant with a shake. To the side is a Magic Fountain, and at the back, a hot spring bath — all the amenities are quite complete, perhaps more luxurious than many great nobles’ estates.

The Ugly Monkey plopped down beside Shawn, picked up a piece of fruit, and raised his brows: "That knife in his hand seems like a divine artifact."

He was referring to the Butcher’s Slaughter Knife.

Shawn remained composed, considering he too carried a divine artifact, though there was no need to use it in the recent battle. The Butcher’s Slaughter Knife could turn stone to flesh — a bizarre ability he saw for the first time, yet he had seen that knife many times before, usually for slicing Pillars of Flesh and Blood, revealing nothing out of the ordinary.

Shawn calmly asked, "Is that ’Ice Death’ you’re holding?"

The Ugly Monkey looked surprised, nodding frankly: "Yes."

"Didn’t expect you to recognize it."

Speaking of which, the Ugly Monkey lovingly caressed his weapon and softly said, "This was bestowed upon me by my master."

He patted his behind, stood up, and said, "I’m going for a bath. Care to join?"

Shawn decisively shook his head.

The Ugly Monkey shrugged and left on his own, glancing at Quinn Thor before departing, he invited, "Care to join for a bath and unwind?"

Quinn Thor was surprised by his straightforwardness, hesitated a moment, then stood up and said, "Sure."

The Ugly Monkey had been a pirate.

Bathing together among pirates was nothing uncommon. When they were bored, they’d swim naked in the sea, and after months at sea, finally reaching shore, they’d book an upscale brothel for fun.

In the blink of an eye, the spacious hall was left with only Shawn and the Insectoid Empress. Shawn held a ball of writhing clay in his palm and, after a glance at her, said, "Come and help me set up a ritual."

There is residual divine power here.

Shawn’s method of digesting divinity is rather brute — he drags the lingering consciousness within the divine power into his spiritual world, killing it repeatedly until the last thought is obliterated.

The yield of this battle was greater than he imagined.

The mysterious knowledge in Shawn’s mind has surged; though the sculpture domain is a branch under the arts divine position, its daily application is extensive. Once he digests this part of the law, his path toward advancing to a legendary destiny will be more than halfway complete.

"The ineffable void should each possess a conceptual law domain."

"Blade Dancer might be painting."

"Detective Morty Laine is probably literature."

"If I gather them together, I may acquire the ability for the arts divine position or abandon it and transform to the knowledge domain, perhaps even condense the law of inspiration."
